“Wi-Fi… …?”
A few people looked puzzled.
A Wi-Fi password as a reward.
But soon those who realized the situation began to react encouragingly.
“If I have internet access, I can contact my family?!”
Communication is currently restricted within educational facilities.
Not only phone calls, but even the Internet is blocked.
In that situation, Annabi’s proposal had to be quite attractive.
“It is possible. However, transmission of videos or photos is restricted.”
“Can’t you tell them we’re here?”
“You may speak.”
People’s faces brightened up.
You can contact the outside world and also hear information from outside.
For most people, it would be a more urgent reward than any other item.
“Then I will continue the explanation.”
Annabi silenced the people and continued speaking.
“Each room has a challenge. For the first room, there is no limit to the number of challenges, but if you leave the room, it will be reset.”
After saying that, Annabi pointed to the jangseung erected in the center of the hall.
It was one of the things that had been stealing my attention since earlier.
“If you are injured, you can take the medicine provided, or if you return to this lobby, you will be automatically healed by the Jangseung’s effect.”
To others it might have looked like an ordinary jangseung, but I could tell how special it was.
═══════════════
[Name] Non-guaranteed victory
[Grade] Yongsam-pum (Dragon Third Grade)
[Description] A jangseung with the energy of replenishment and suppression. It heals people who approach within range and blocks the approach of demons.
═══════════════
If you sold just that one thing, you could easily buy two buildings.
In addition, I noticed that there were special items placed throughout this educational facility.
It was possible because it was a group with such powerful power as the Fate Protectorate.
To begin with, it makes no sense for an ordinary person to create such an educational facility.
“And this is something that is given to everyone in common. Please take it with you.”
Annabi laid out small boxes on the table.
I packed my share of supplies.
[You have obtained the Chungilpum (蟲一品) sword!]
[You have obtained the recovery potion!]
It was difficult to obtain items in the beginning, but trainees who entered the training facility were able to start off by obtaining basic equipment.
I was also able to continue receiving fairly expensive recovery medication.
People didn’t seem to be very impressed yet, perhaps because they didn’t know its value.
After distributing the items to everyone, Annabi opened her mouth.
“And finally, before the real training begins. I would like to inform you that the Protectorate is not responsible for any injuries or deaths that may occur here.”
Several people appeared shaken by the mention of injury and death.
Annabi continued speaking slowly.
“That doesn’t mean I condone murder. If there is a case of serious injury or murder among trainees, they will be severely punished.”
“… … .”
“Please check the manual for detailed regulations. Excuse me.”
After finishing her explanation, Annabi quickly left.
As she disappeared, silence fell upon the hall again.
Then one person raised his hand and shouted.
“Excuse me, excuse me! I need someone to go with me! My special ability is first-class!”
It certainly seemed like the bait Annabi had spread was effective on the people.
As one person began to save the group, the rest of the people also began to move around busily.
The hall suddenly became noisy.
“Who wants to go together?”
“My rank is… … !”
It was like looking at a job market.
While I was observing people, a man approached me.
“Hello. I’m the person who was in the building with you at that time.”
I glanced over and saw that it was the face I had seen in the building, just as he had said.
I didn’t know the name, but I remembered the face well.
Because in my previous life, I was one of those people who ignored me and called me an insect.
“I was so shocked when I saw you catching monsters like that! If it weren’t for you, I would have been in big trouble.”
In his previous life, he was a guy who would look at me like I was trash, but now he’s clinging to me.
The man continued his flattering words in a slightly excited tone.
“Strong, calm… … . I really respect you in so many ways!”
“… … .”
“So… … . This is fate, isn’t it? Do you want to go hunting together? Your rank must be really high, too… … .”
It seemed like he was clinging to me because he thought I was high-ranking.

I said it to him casually.
“At that time, you were busy running away. Should I hunt with someone like that?”
“That, that… … I was so embarrassed at that time… … .”
“If I panic inside, I’ll run away again.”
The man looked quite embarrassed.
In the end, he made excuses and hurriedly left the place.
After that, several more people asked me to party, but I declined them all.
I thought it was a little funny.
In my previous life, those guys would run away whenever they saw me, but in this life, they flock to me of their own accord.
Then, a familiar voice was heard.
“Hello, Seo Kang-rim.”
Before I knew it, Shin Soo-ah was approaching me.
It was like this when we first met in our previous life.
She spoke to me affectionately.
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim, it seems like you haven’t found a party yet… … . I don’t have anyone to go with either. If it’s okay with you, would you like to do it together?”
Other people approached me because they thought I was strong, but Shin Soo-ah was different.
In my previous life, I was a weak, third-rank official, but Shin Soo-ah still reached out to me then and now.
But I shook my head.
“No. I feel more comfortable acting alone.”
I decided to keep some distance from her.
Because I thought it was safer for Shin Soo Ah.
Baekyoung’s rank is Shinilpum.
Even if I prepare for several years, there is a high chance that I will not win.
I might end up in the same situation as my previous life.
The only reason Shin Soo-ah was murdered in my previous life was to protect me.
If you don’t get entangled with me in this life, at least Shin Soo Ah won’t be harmed when Baek Young comes.
When I refused, Shin Soo-ah looked a little disappointed.
“I see. It seemed like you and Seo Kang-rim got along well… … .”
Seeing Shin Soo Ah like that made me feel a little bad, but in the end, I rejected her.
Even as she was leaving, Shin Soo-ah smiled at me as if she felt regret.
“Even if we can’t hunt together, I ask for your help in the future.”
I just nodded once.
We can’t be close like we were in our previous lives, but since we’re in the same educational facility, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to treat each other like strangers.
At that moment, footsteps and an excited voice were heard from behind.
“Hello, Seo Kang-rim! Did you sleep well?”
When I looked back, Dokgo Jun was approaching me.
There were dark circles under his eyes, perhaps because he hadn’t slept properly.
But despite his tired complexion, his expression was good.
“Seo Kang-rim, are you going alone?”
Unlike yesterday, he seemed very friendly to me.
He was smiling brightly with a blank face, giving off an even more strange atmosphere.
“I’m going alone. Is there anything you want to do?”
“I was just thinking of going with you. I was waiting for you.”
It was impossible for him to offer me company, considering my past life.
Because he treated all weak people like trash.
I only took on fairly strong hunters as my companions, but I think they mistakenly thought I was strong.
“Yesterday you just left me behind, so have you changed your mind? I don’t really believe you.”
“That’s right… … .”
Dokgo Jun looked at me with a big smile.
“I kept thinking about it after hearing Shin Soo-ah’s story yesterday. What kind of development is this? Am I really a supporting villain?”
I think I know where the dark circles came from.
Did you stay up all night worrying about that?
He continued speaking in a still excited voice.
“At first, I thought you were an extra prepared for my awakening, but that didn’t seem to be the case!”
“… … .”
“You’re definitely a supporting actor, no, a leading actor. You seem like you’re close to one of the top two leading actors who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me!”
I looked at Dokgo Jun for a moment.
Dokgo Jun is definitely not a good person.
No, he must be an undeniable villain.
However, no one could deny the fact that he was a strong awakener.
It was dangerous to handle and could be fickle at any moment, but it was useful.
It wasn’t bad even when I figured it out with ‘Fate’s Eye’.
[Check out the fortune-telling compatibility of the target ‘Seo Kang-rim’ and ‘Dokgo Jun’!]
[‘Dokgo Jun’ appears to have a forceful and capricious personality. He is not a completely trustworthy opponent, but if he becomes an ally, he will provide many help.]
Also, when I compared his and my five element compatibility, there were some things that were advantageous to me.
[Also, Dokgo Jun’s five elements are gold (金), and Seo Kang Rim’s five elements are fire (火), so their relationship is fire overcoming gold (火克金).]
[As fire melts iron, it is easy for Seo Kang-rim to take the lead in a relationship.]
Dokgo Jun doesn’t know me, but I know about him.
It was like that from the beginning, I was hanging on without even knowing that I was in urgent need.
Since he is a capable person, it will be beneficial to use him in many ways.
I said, staring at him.
“Okay. Let’s go together.”
“Really? You think of me as a colleague too… … .”
“step.”
I suddenly stopped talking.
Dokgo Jun looked at me as if asking why.
“I don’t trust you yet. After what you did to me in the building.”
“Um, that’s true, but… … .”
“If you don’t want to lose my trust, you’ll have to behave better in the future. Keep that in mind.”
Dokgo Jun is showing me favor now, but I don’t trust him.
If I feel even a little weak or lose interest, I will change my attitude.
In that case, just use it until you change your attitude.
“Well, okay! It’s no fun to become colleagues right away.”
“Then, let’s go in now.”
I walked up to the first door and grabbed the doorknob.
Then a notification window popped up before my eyes.
[I feel the spirit of a ghost slayer.]
[I can feel the energy of the golden ghost.]
Ghost killing, and golden ghost.
In the four pillars of destiny, Guishal is the death (殺).
The word used when talking about gaining weight.
Something that has a negative effect on a person to the point of threatening their life.
The term “geumgwi” (金鬼) literally means a disaster caused by gold.
It doesn’t matter since I already know it.
I turned the doorknob forcefully.
[Confirming the positions of ‘Seo Kang-rim’ and ‘Dokgo Jun’.]
[Entered Dosan’s room.]
